Australian Mathematics Comp

Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) 2019

Congratulations to all of our students who sat for AMC 2019!

These students spent countless of hours by putting in effort to practice past year papers to familiarise themselves with the different problem-solving questions. A total number of ninety-two Year Seven to Year Twelve students sat for the paper version and a total of thirteen Year 12 students sat for the online version.

The purpose behind organising AMC at St Norbert College is to expose and equip our students to develop their problem-solving skills to help them navigate real world problems which require practical solutions. We are eagerly awaiting the AMC results which will be out by mid-September.

An excerpt of a question taken from AMC (Year 7 and 8):

A 3 by 5 grid of dots is set out as shown. How many straight-line segments can be drawn that join two of these dots and pass through exactly one other dot?

(A) 14        (B) 20        (C) 22          (D) 24           (E) 30

Have a go!

I encourage more students participation in AMC 2020. Look forward to see your name in the AMC list next year!
